Explanation / Answer

5. First calculate the present value of loan by discount the amount paid at 5%

Year (t)

Amount (A)

PV = (A/(1+5%)^t

2

$200

$181.41

4

$400

$329.08

6

$600

$447.73

8

$800

$541.47

10

$1,000

$613.91

Total Loan (sum of Pvs)

$2,113.60

Now we know that loan amount is $2,113.60 and paying 5% interest per year at 2 years interval

Year (t)

Beginning balance (BB)

Loan with two years interest @ 5% {BB*(1+5%)^2}

Amount paid

Remaining balance

2

$2,113.60

$2,330.24

$200.00

$2,130.24

4

$2,130.24

$2,348.60

$400.00

$1,948.60

The amount of principal paid in second payment

$181.6499

Therefore the amount of principal paid in second payment (at end of year 4) = Remaining balance at end of year 2 – remaining balance at end of year 4

= $2,130.24 -$1,948.60 = $181.64

Therefore correct answer is option $181.64

6. Duration calculation:

Therefore correct answer is option 3.61 years

7. Cost of liability is the price (Present value) of both zero coupon bonds

For first zero coupon bond

Bond price P1 = M / (1+i) ^n

Where,

Price of the bond P1 =?

Maturity value of the bond = $1,000

i = yield to maturity or priced to yield =10% per year

And time period for maturity n =1 year

Therefore

P1 = $1,000 / (1+10%) ^1

P1 = $909.09

For second zero coupon bonds

Bond price P2 = M / (1+i) ^n

Where,

Price of the bond P2 =?

Maturity value of the bond = $2,000

i = yield to maturity or priced to yield =12% per year

And time period for maturity n =2 year

Therefore

P2 = $2,000 / (1+12%) ^2

P2 = $1594.39

Therefore Cost of liabilities = P1+P2

=$909.09 +$1594.39

= $2503.47 or $2503

Therefore correct answer is option $2503

Year (t)

Amount (A)

PV = (A/(1+5%)^t
